Hi! We will be in the Tri-Cities area next month for the Crush. We are coming from Maryland. We are pretty familiar with the area as my husband went there on business for many, many years and we have been searching also for some property to retire to. But that aside, where can we dine? We haven't really found any places we liked and have had to resort to chain restaurants. We would like to find good food at reasonable prices- isn't that what we all strive for?! Breakfast is taken care of but lunch and dinner, we need some ideas. Thanks! Judy

Thanks for the tips! I am very familiar with Anthony's and it is one of my favorite places to go! I am going to print out the list and take it with me. We enjoyed immensely being there during the Crush (the weather was awesome!) a year or so ago and can't wait for this trip. Thanks again for the suggestions, Judy

Hi! Yes, the Crush does involve wine and the area wineries have special events at their places. It is just good fun and the weather is great (at least it was the last time we were there). We went to a hot air balloon launch also in the wee hours of the morning in Benton City I think. Here is the link for more information.

I would recommend getting the brochure or you can have your relatives pick one up for you and have it there when you arrive. I hope you enjoy it. And I should note that I am not really a wine drinker and i enjoyed myself. Judy

We just visited Katya's Bistro & Wine Bar last night, and it's our new favorite restaurant in the Tri-Cities! I had the flat iron steak in bordelaise sauce ($18) which is probably one of the best steaks I've had (and I've had a lot of good steak!) and my husband had the chicken alfredo ($16) which he said was the best he's ever had. My parents had the ribeye ($28?) in bordelaise sauce and the seafood pasta ($19?) and both were very pleased with their meals. The wine selection was extensive and had the best selection of Washington wines I've seen at a restaurant, including Bin No 20 in Pasco. We chose the 2002 Reininger merlot (from Walla Walla - $45?) which complimented the steaks well. The entrees ranged from $15 for the pastas to $32 for the best cut of steak, while the wines ranged from $20 to over $100, with lots of moderately priced selections from local wineries. I don't know how the weather is going to be when you visit, but it was the perfect temperature for us to dine outside on the patio, which was lovely.

Also, I don't know if you knew this, but Anthony's had a fire last week in their duct work, and was shut down for awhile. Apparently they opened in time for dinner last night, but I'm not sure to what extent the fire caused damages. Seeing as how there are a little less than three weeks until your visit, everything will probably be back to normal then, but it probably wouldn't hurt to check - I'm sure if you call the restaurant they can give you more information.

Oh, thank you so much for replying to my query about dining in the Tri-Cities!!! I have printed it all out and it will travel with us. Your dinner sounds wonderful!!! My husband will try any of the steak items for sure. Sorry to hear about the fire at Anthony's but like you said, by the time we get there, all should be ok. Could have been worse! Today is lovely here in Maryland- a rare occurence it seems. We have been enjoying very much the hummingbirds at our feeders (we have 6 feeders and still the hummers fight!) but know they will be flying south before too long!!! Thanks again, Judy
